Join us for a discussion of a fiction title by Susanne Pari. The Iron Book Discussion Group will read In the Time of Our History next month.

*****

BOOK DESCRIPTION: Inspired by her own family’s experiences following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Susanne Pari explores the entangled lives within an Iranian American family grappling with generational culture clashes, the roles imposed on women, and a tragic accident that forces them to reconcile their guilt or forfeit their already tenuous bonds. Set between San Francisco and New Jersey in the late-1990s, In the Time of Our History is a story about the universal longing to create a home in this world and what happens when we let go of how we’ve always been told it should look.

*****

Copies of In the Time of Our History can be picked up from the Book Discussion Shelf on our first floor, and it’s available digitally as an ebook (through Overdrive/Libby) and an audiobook (through Hoopla).

In-person discussions of In the Time of Our History will be held at the library on Tuesday, November 12, at 7:00 PM, and Thursday, November 14, at 3:00 PM. Please attend whichever date you prefer, and no registration is required.
